Post navigation

This was a really difficult, restricting month, but I am very happy that I gave being vegan a try. It may have been inconvenient, but I felt so healthy while putting extra thought into what I put into my mouth. Realistically, moving forward I probably will not stay vegan. However, I do want to attempt […]

I had a family dinner last night and my aunt found a recipe that was deliciously vegan but want even advertised as vegan. It was basically an eggplant stirfry but it called for red wine vinegar and basil to be thrown in at the end before serving. It was a very simple, delicious and healthy […]

I messed up. Not too terribly, but again lack of planning makes it harder to be a vegan. I’m sensing this as a common theme this month but am going to try to be better about it! I am staying at a remote cabin and didn’t take the time to stop in town for some […]
